Police and the media refer to wannabe mass murderers who grab a gun and go shoot up a place as "active gunners" or "active shooters".
This implies there is such a thing as a "passive shooter" in their world view. But you can't pull a trigger passively, so a passive shooter would have to be one that hasn't opened fire yet.
If that IS how their thought processes are running, that would go a long way to explaining why police have an unfortunate tendency to confront peaceful open carriers at gunpoint.
